Yust a wild guess: You could have blocked reception of ARP requests / ARP replies in your IPFW rules on one of the systems involved. Just try again with a completely open configuration (a pass all as rule 1 should work). That would explain that other systems can learn the ARP address as soon as

Network/ARP problem? Maybe pn driver?

I hope I'm not just being really stupid, but I think there's a problem somewhere. If it's a configuration error on my part, then I think I'd better take a vacation, considering what my job is supposed to be. Anyway, I have a machine that is exhibiting a weird network problem. My guess is that

Can you run a tcpdump arp on the machine that is having the problem, as well? This could help to determine if it's a driver problem (e.g. if the replies don't show up) or an ARP problem (e.g. if the replies do show up but arp doesn't use them). Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to

Big Clue. Run tcpdump -p and see if the problem doesn't go away. (tcpdump puts the card in promiscuous mode, tcpdump -p does not). Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
